Segment alignment issues once again… but that completes the SHARED
segments of all TH03 and TH05 binaries, for now!

Second previously undecompilable translation unit, second creative
workaround for the workaround. We can't compile snd_se_play() with -WX,
as that function needs a stack frame, and it's also illegal to disable
-WX in the middle of a translation unit. But since we only need word
alignment in front of snd_se_reset() *and* that function is identical
in all 4 games, it makes sense to move it to its own translation unit.
And then you notice that the TH02/TH03 and TH04/TH05 versions of the
other two functions are basically identical. The small differences can
easily be moved out to inline functions, leaving us with a single
implementation file for all 4 games. Nice!

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

DOS is not the same thing as the underlying CPU, after all. A separate
file not only indicates to future port authors which parts of the code
are x86-specific, but it also speeds up build times…
… in theory, because removing 677 lines from 49 files each doesn't seem
to speed up the build as much as I had hoped? But apparently my whole
system mysteriously got faster in the meantime, and I was getting 22-23
seconds for the entire repo even before this commit. Good enough.

Umm… but this can't be in the same translation unit as frame_delay(),
because OP.EXE has cdg_put_nocolors() inbetween, which means we'd have
to compile it twice.
What probably happened there: ZUN originally wrote this in C when
frame_delay() was still next to it, then generated ASM from it,
tinkered with that, and ultimately only linked that ASM into the final
game, with the NOPCALL still in there. That might very well be the one
temporary NOPCALL workaround we can never get rid of…
Oh well, at least we got lucky with the padding, and can keep the
cdg_put_nocolors() decompilation from the last commit.

And renaming them all to the short filenames they will be decompiled to for
consistency. These functions aren't really immediately hardware-related, as
we've established earlier in the decompilation.
